This recipe is easy to prepare and is great as an appetizer or as a light meal by itself. Presently the recipe is for 2 people but will easily double or triple for more people. The recipe comes from the cookbook "Les gratins de Christophe". Dont forget to serve with crusty bread and a nice glass of wine. Enjoy
